Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by placing 4 large eggs in a medium pot and covering them with water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, slice the 2 ripe avocados in half and carefully scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocados slightly until creamy but still chunky.
- To the bowl with mashed avocados, add 1/2 finely chopped red onion, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir all the ingredients together.
- After the eggs have rested, transfer them to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to cool. Once chilled, peel the eggs under cool running water, then chop them into small pieces.
- Gently fold the chopped eggs into the avocado mixture, maintaining some chunkiness for texture.
- Season your salad with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Toss the mixture gently.
- Your Egg Avocado Salad can be served immediately or chilled. Spoon it onto toasted bread, use it as a filling for lettuce wraps, or enjoy it straight from the bowl.

Notes
Cool eggs in ice water to prevent overcooking and achieve ideal hard-boiled texture. Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture. Don't skip the lime juice to prevent browning in avocados.
